This topic is about configuration migration, such as migrating deployment managers and federated nodes in a network deployment environment. The Application Migration Toolkit for WebSphere Application Server provides support for migrating applications from previous versions of WebSphere Application Server to the latest product version. For information about migrating applications, read more about the Application Migration Toolkit.

Before using the Migration wizard, you must have access to the existing, previous version of WebSphere Application Server.

Migrating a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x deployment manager to a Version 8.0 deployment manager moves all of the Version 6.x federated nodes to become Version 6.x federated nodes in the Version 8.0 cell. If you are migrating a Version 6.x federated node that is part of a Version 8.0 cell to Version 8.0, do not federate the node when you create it with the Profile Management tool but do be sure that the Version 6.x and Version 8.0 node names match. Migrating the Version 6.x federated node to Version 8.0 also federates the node.

The Migration wizard was introduced in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0. The wizard is the graphical interface to the primary Version 8.0 migration tools, the WASPreUpgrade command and the WASPostUpgrade command, which are command-line tools.

Procedure
